I am counting down the hours until 5:00pm so I can go home, shower, and crawl into bed. I don't feel tired thankfully but I just want to lay and be still. Part of me wonders if my body recognizes the program is over and all my stress from the past eight weeks is in full physical effect. The Family Night event went fairly well. Hy-Vee catering was extremely late bringing our food though so I'm working with them to compensate money for our stress last night. My favorite conversation with them last night (at 5:40pm)--"Our fruit trays have not arrived yet." "Sorry to hear that but they aren't supposed to be delivered until 5:15pm" "Umm...do you own a clock?"
In theory I have the next two weeks off from work but I will be doing some prep work for the fall semester. I also need to finish prep for the graduate student orientation process too. Luckily I can do most of it from home. Gavin will be busy with football obligations so our ability to leave Ankeny is limited. It bums me out the new semester will be starting so soon. I don't feel like I get much of a summer anymore.
Things are going very well with the new fella in my life. It's a new relationship so I'm not going to jump to conclusions but it's very nice to be seeing someone that is so compatible with my interests and likes. I've looked forward to seeing him in the past couple weeks. I must say that it's nice to have someone so kind and considerate in my life too. Sad to say but I wasn't used to having that type of personality in my life in the past years.
I guess that's all I have to report on for now. I'm curious about how much I currently weigh but don't have access to the calibrated scale at work. Most of my clothes are getting big on me so I have that reassurance. Another nice perk with the new guy....he likes to be active. I'm hoping to play more tennis in general during the month of August.
Good point about the stress of the program weighing on you now that it's come to an end. Your Thursday night doesn't sound very exciting, ha ha, just kidding. I was stupid last night and at brownies before going jogging. Talk about dry heaving and burping. I should have known better.
ReplyDeleteI hope Hyvee does give you some money back or something. You pay for certain food at a certain time. It's not rocket science. If they didn't fulfill their end, they should not get the full amount.
Your blog just makes me sad as summer, even though I'm just starting to enjoy it, is over. I guess I got more of a summer than you, so I shouldn't complain. FYI, I talked to Alissa today. I think I'm heading to Waukon on the 12th after my meeting. Then, I'll stay until Czech Days. She and I are hoping that either the 13th or 14th are ideal for Lonnings. Also, we were thinking of trying to go to Adventureland early the third week in August - 17th or 18th. Just keep those dates in mind.
P.S. Good luck with this fella. :-)
